Oliva Serie G Figurado a Well Made Cigar at a Great Price
Let me come clean, this is a cigar that I have been smoking since its release a few years ago. My humidor is never without the. This is also a cigar that I will give to guests who are casual cigar smokers. I have yet to have a guest not like this stick. As for me, this review is easy to write. When you first look at the cigar you notice its unusual shape. It is pointed at the head like...
Island Blendz a Mellow Mild Cigar
I’m not sure what to say about a cigar that I know so little about. First, this cigar was given to me by someone at TPE in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. They provided no literature of other info. When I searched online I found a site that says they are manufactured by Leuzzi Fumar Cigars. Their website has a nice picture and some info about the cigar, but nothing about where you might...
Brickhouse is just that!
Sometimes you don’t know what to make of a cigar. You light it, and enjoy it and only then do you form an opinion. So it was with this cigar.

I was having a discussion with a new cigar smoker about flavor and taste when he remarked on my habit of categorizing cigars as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. He told me that he would...
Dunhill Aged Dominican Tabaras
One of the reps at TPE gave me a nice cigar that I would not ordinarily smoke. Not because it’s bad, rather because for me it’s too mild. The Dunhill Aged Dominican Tabaras is actually a very nice cigar. It is a nice light brown color, with not overly large veins. It looks smooth and has a toothy feel. Since it encased in a tube and wrapped in cedar, it has a pleasant cedar...
Habano 601
It seems as though this week has seen me smoke a number of puros. Today is no different, this one form Nicaragua. Don Pepin Garcia has put together a typical Nicaraguan blend for this heavy cigar. When I first examined the cigar it had a nice aroma, woody and sweet. I thought that might be from the dark oily Habano wrapper. The foot of the cigar seemed to be poorly cut. It was as though...
